• Refrigerant tubing should be supported in a manner that the
tubing will not vibrate or abrade during system operation.
• Tubing should be kept clean of foreign debris during
installation.
• Every effort should be made by the installer to ensure that
the field installed refrigerant containing components of
the system have been installed in accordance with these
instructions and sound installation practices to insure
reliable system operation and longevity.
• The maximum recommended interconnecting refrigerant
line length is 75 feet, and the vertical elevation difference
between the indoor and outdoor sections should not exceed
20 feet.
• If precise forming of refrigerant lines is needed, a copper
tubing bender is recommended. Avoid sharp bends and
contact of the refrigerant lines with metal surfaces.
• These units are equipped with single shot quick connect
couplings. Together with the indoor section and line set,
only four coupling connections are required to provide a
100% sealed system.
1. Route the suction line and liquid line between indoor and
outdoor sections, remove protector caps and plugs.
2. With a soft, dust-free cloth, carefully wipe clean all coupling
threads and seals to remove any dust or material which
could contaminate the refrigerant system.
3. Using refrigerant oil, lightly lubricate the diaphragm, o-ring,
and mating threads.
4.
Connect the couplings as follows:
a.) Line up the refrigerant line with the coil coupling and
thread together by hand for 2-3 turns of the union nut
(or until a sharp increase in torque is felt), to ensure
proper thread mating.
b.) With the appropriate sized wrenches, tighten the
union nut while preventing rotation of the female body
with respect to the male half. Tighten the nut to the
appropriate value in Table 1.
5. Using a marker, mark a line from the coupling union nut to
the bulkhead then tighten an additional wrench flat (60°).
Repeat for all couplings.
6. Check the system for leaks
ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury, death or property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous
operation, serious injury, death or property
damage.
• Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power
to the unit.
• When servicing controls, label all wires prior
to disconnecting. Reconnect wires correctly.
• Verify proper operation after servicing.
• All electrical connections must be in compliance with all
applicable local codes and ordinances, and with the current
revision of the National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA 70).
• For Canadian installations the electrical connections and
grounding shall comply with the current Canadian Electrical
Code (CSA C22.1 and/or local codes).
Pre-Electrical Checklist
√ Verify that the voltage, frequency, and phase of the supply
source match the specifications on the unit rating plate.
√ Verify that the service provided by the utility is sufficient
to handle the additional load imposed by this equipment.
Refer to the unit wiring label for proper high and low voltage
wiring.
√ Verify factory wiring is in accordance with the unit wiring
diagram. Inspect for loose connections. See Figure 6 (page
9), Figure 7 (page 10), & Figure 8 (page 11).
Line Voltage
• A wiring diagram is located on the inside cover of the
electrical box of the outdoor unit. The installer should
become familiar with the wiring diagram before making
any electrical connections to the outdoor unit.
• An electrical disconnect must be located within sight
of and readily accessible to the unit. This switch shall
be capable of electrically de-energizing the outdoor unit.
• Line voltage to the unit should be supplied from a dedicated
branch circuit containing the correct fuse or circuit breaker
for the unit. Incoming field wiring and minimum size of
electrical conductors and circuit protection must be in
compliance with information listed on the outdoor unit
data label. Any other wiring methods must be acceptable
to authority having jurisdiction.
• The outdoor unit requires both power and control circuit
electrical connections. Refer to the wiring diagrams for
identification and location of outdoor unit field wiring
interfaces. See Figure 6 (page 9), Figure 7 (page 10),
& Figure 8 (page 11). Make all electrical connections in
accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances.
• Overcurrent protection must be provided at the branch
circuit distribution panel and sized as shown on the unit
rating label and according to applicable local codes. See
the unit rating plate for minimum circuit ampacity and
maximum overcurrent protection limits.
• Provide power supply for the unit in accordance with the
unit wiring diagram, and the unit rating plate. Connect the
